Panasonic Lumix G9 Mark II w/ Lumix G 12-60mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens Compact System Camera

Introduction

LUMIX G9II

Key Capabilities

The cameras new 25.2-megapixel Live MOS sensor delivers high resolution and high-speed response, supporting V-Log/V-Gamut and 13+ stops of wide dynamic rangei . The new engine achieves natural, three- dimensional textured images and ensures high-speed processing of high bitrate video.

The hybrid PDAF technology on board the LUMIX G9II enables accurate auto-focus and high-speed tracking of fast-moving subjects. New AI-powered recognition technology (developed using AI deep learning) for real-time auto-focus now recognises cars, motorcycles, and animal eyes for improved precision.

To deliver fast action photography, the LUMIX G9II offers burst shooting at 60 fps (AFC) and Super High Speedii pre-burst recordingiii that can commence shooting up to 1.5 seconds prior to shutter release, including support
for RAW files. A blackout-free Live View Finderv means the user can continuously track and keep the subject in focus.
Providing incredible stabilisation for hybrid shooters, the excellent LUMIX image stabilisation system is further
enhanced. For photographers, the in-body IS offers an impressive 8-stop at 60mmiv, and when shooting withultra–telephoto focal length, the Dual I.S 2 system offers7.5–stopvat 140mm (280mm 35mm equivalent).
Videographers will appreciate theActive I.S.technology which is optimised for video shooting, offering smoothgimbal–like video even when walking with the camera. Thesecapabilitiesprovide even greater support forhandheld shootingatultra–telephoto focal lengths, capturing difficult,dynamicsubjects such as wildlife.Using
the precision gyro–sensor and in–body stabilisation unit,100–megapixel images can be captured in camera usingthe High Resolution mode both with a tripod orwhenhandheld.
There are alsoseveralmodes that expand the possibilities ofcreativity.The13+ stop V–Log/V–Gamut captureoffers a high dynamic range, consistent colour management and streamlined post–production.With in–cameracolour grading via REAL TIME LUT, creative scope is increased while workflow is reducedexcellent forrepeatable setups such as content creators who work in thesame studio or are looking to repeat the same
style in camera instead of applying the same LUT in post.The newly–added LEICA Monochrome mode providesdeepblack/white contrast.
The Live View Composite Modetakes away the guess work, allowing the photographer to set the desiredexposure, take the shot, then view the image on–screen as it is being exposed in real time. Once they are happywith how the shot looks, they simply hit the shutter button again to stop the exposure. This mode is also greatfor light painting, shooting light trails and other long exposure scenarios.
The G9IIis a launching point for video creation.Itincludes 4:2:0 10–bit 5.8K (4:3) full sensor recording/ 5.7K(17:9), enabling flexible framing options for various social mediaformats, as well as4:2:0 10–bit C4K/4K120p/100p to enable slow motion videos.Recording and playback are supported using an external SSD via USB.
ItalsooffersApple ProResvivideo, which delivers high image quality at low compression, reducingcomputerload during post–production and allowingnon–linear editing without transcoding, streamlining workflow from
start to finish.
Panasonic is pleased to introduce a newoptionalbattery grip (DMW–BG1E)equipped with an eight–directionjoystick that is compatible with the LUMIX G9II and the already available LUMIX S5II and S5IIX.
